Total Recorder Developer Edition is an edition of Total Recorder that allows you to integrate the capabilities of Total Recorder (audio and video recording, editing, processing, and playing) with other applications.

Note that the Total Recorder Developer Edition License Agreement does not allow for the reselling or redistribution of the Total Recorder Developer Edition software in any way, shape, or form. Please contact High Criteria if you have any questions about the License Agreement or your rights as a purchaser.

Total Recorder Developer Edition Main Features:

  • As a stand-alone program, it has the same features as the VideoPro Edition.
  • Total Recorder Developer Edition provides COM interfaces so that all of its functions can be invoked programmatically from within another program (e.g. C/C++, C#, VB, or Java programs) or from within a script (e.g. VB Script, JavaScript, or Perl) rather than interactively. In this mode, Total Recorder can be visible or invisible depending on your needs for controlling the program.
  • The Total Recorder Developer Edition package contains additional documentation and sample code (C++, C#, Visual Basic and JavaScript) for writing applications that can control Total Recorder through COM facilities.
  • You can obtain the source code for the symbolic language (similar to Visual Basic) that corresponds to the interface operations you performed during your current Total Recorder session. The code can be appended with other useful information you can use to write applications to control Total Recorder. This feature can greatly facilitate writing your own code to control Total Recorder Developer Edition through COM technology.
  • Many others features.

These are only some of the features of Total Recorder Developer Edition. For more information, refer to the program's Help or the PDF-documentation.
